Schrödinger’s Cat Burglar
- Tell us a about yourself - I understand you’re an animator turned game designer, so kind of walk us through your personal journey a little bit? (0:54)
- When developing the game, did you start with the story and character animations, or did you jump right into the programming and let the game sort of build itself? (3:57)
- Do you have any personal attachment to cats or animals in general that might have influenced the creation of Mittens? (5:23)
- The game clearly suggest heavy use of quantum physics. Beyond the classic Schrodinger's cat example, did you find yourself really studying this topic to deepen your own understanding and then use that learning to create new challenges/ abilities? (6:18)
- The demo gives players a taste of what’s to come. What are you most excited about for players to experience in the full version of the game? (8:52)
- Are there any other animals in the game like rats since they are common test subjects? Does lazy Susan have abilities for example? (10:31)
- You started this project as a solo developer, but your team has grown over time. What were some pros and cons to working alone versus having a small team behind your work? (12:01)
- So, you described some moments during the development process when you had to step back and rethink a design choice or direction. How did you approach making those tough decisions? (15:20)
- *Schrödinger’s Cat Burglar* allows for both couch and remote co-op. How did you approach designing the gameplay with multiplayer in mind, and what sort of challenges did that present? (18:11)
- How did you approach designing the various puzzles in the game? What was the process of making them challenging but fair? (19:59)
- For others interested in making their own game, any words of wisdom? (21:52)
- Any last words he wants the listeners to know - when we might be able to expect a release date? (23:34)
- Ironheart (26:59)
- Superman (35:31)
- Spider-Noir (42:58)
Then we talk about what the gang has been up to:
